I've fixed a whole bunch of bugs that were found or reported in the previous beta build, and also some bugs that've been piling up over the months and years. And, heck, I missed the Christmas release date and you're not supposed to "ship to prod" during the holidays anyway, so we've got at least another week until it makes sense to exit beta and ship this for good. Call this the "year end bug clearance sale!" (sounds like an episode of Rick & Morty's Interdimensional Cable)

Fixed a toolbar layout glitch where it would grow taller when a ComboBox (e.g. pen width, font chooser) was removed (i.o.w. when you would resize the main window to be less wide). I'm so glad I fixed this, it was nagging me for so long.

Fixed a glitch with the resize handle at the lower-left corner of the main window

Fixed: toe_head2001 had earlier reported a bug to me where, on Win7, you could switch Paint.NET to use Dark, and then switch Windows to use Classic, and then Paint.NET's UI would be suuuuuuper confused about which one it should be using.

Oh wow that is ancient! I've updated it to use the correct background color. I tried upgrading the controls to the newer, custom controls that have all sorts of improvements, but it didn't work out very well, and it's really not worth spending several hours to investigate, debug, and fix. So, these older plugins will still have a slightly off mixture of colors -- like the numeric up/down will still have a white text background.

Triggered by the remarks coming from some other translators, I decided to check the latest activities in Crowdin.

I noticed that some new strings have been introduced and that the automatic translations from Bing have been pushed through.

Oh dear, oh dear. MT may be nice with words, but definitely not good with sentences.

Rick,

I had to make some changes. Could you approve these?

And please next time consider to send the Crowdin translators a brief notification that new strings are ready for (proper) translation.

MT isn't great but sometimes it's all that's available. Not all languages have active translators. So I have to start with the Bing MT and wait for better translations from real people ... which unfortunately doesn't always happen. I can't wait forever, and I can't block an update for an indefinite amount of time. In effect, translations must be done asynchronously -- if they get there in time, excellent. If they don't make it in time, then they can always make it in for the next update.

It's supposed to send you an e-mail when I upload any changes. Check your profile settings on Crowdin? There's a page for e-mail notifications.

Under "Fehlerbehebungen" it says in the German translation: "Fluid Mauseingaben". You should translate the word "Fluid" into "Flüssige".

The explanation needs no comma between the words "Störungen" and "beim".

There could be more mistakes, I did not check every checkbox by now.

Hi wpuser! Translations are managed at crowdin.com. Would you be able to register there and then send me your user name so I can approve you for the Paint.NET translation project? Then you'll be able to make these fixes directly. I'd really appreciate it
